[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0025] Example 1: A heat exchange equipment maintenance device, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a pipe box 1, several pipe bundles 2 installed inside the pipe box 1, a small cap 3 and a large cap 4 for detachable sealing and guide support. The pipe bundle 2 extends to the end of the pipe box 1 near the small cap 3, and the small cap 3 is located inside the large cap 4. A maintenance mechanism for water leakage detection is provided on one side of the pipe bundle 2. The maintenance mechanism consists of a small flange 5, a large flange 6, and a sealing gasket 7. A connector 9 for communication support is movably installed inside the connector 9, which is sealed and connected to the external detection device.

[0026] When inspecting the tube bundle 2 inside the tube box 1, first, the small cap 3 and the large cap 4 inside the tube box 1 are removed, and then the tube bundle 2 to be inspected is fixed with the large flange 6. Then, the sealing gasket 7 is placed on one end of the small flange 5, and then the large flange 6 is placed on one side of the sealing gasket 7. The small flange 5, the large flange 6, and the sealing gasket 7 are tightened simultaneously. Then, water is injected into the tube bundle 2 through the inside of the large flange 6 to discharge the remaining air inside the tube bundle 2. After the air is discharged, the sealing gasket 7 with a middle seal is used to seal the other end of the tube bundle 2. Then, an air supply device is used to supply air and increase pressure into the tube bundle 2 through the large flange 6. Under the action of pressure, the water inside the tube bundle 2 with a leak will slowly seep out of the tube bundle, and then the leak point can be accurately located and corresponding plugging measures can be taken. Therefore, the use of this method can greatly reduce maintenance time and labor costs, improve equipment operation efficiency and safety, and have significant economic and safety benefits.

[0027] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a plurality of thread grooves for fastening are provided through the small flange 5 , and the small flange 5 is threadedly connected to a fastening small plug 11 through the thread groove. The fastening small plug 11 is used to position the small flange 5 to the tube bundle 2 .

[0028] A flange connection ring 601 is provided on the side of the large flange 6 close to the small flange 5. A plurality of thread grooves for fastening are provided through the large flange 6. The thread grooves on the large flange 6 are evenly divided into two groups, and the inner group of thread grooves also penetrates the flange connection ring 601.

[0029] The sealing gasket 7 is located between the large flange 6 and the small flange 5. A plug-in ring 8 is provided on the side of the sealing gasket 7 close to the small flange 5. The plug-in ring 8 is plugged into the small flange 5, and the small flange 5 is located inside the plug-in ring 8. A threaded groove is provided through the plug-in ring 8, and a threaded groove is provided through the sealing gasket 7.

[0030] After the small flange 5 is plugged into and positioned on the pipe box 1, the sealing gasket 7 is moved to plug the splicing ring 8 into the small flange 5, and then the large flange 6 is moved to plug the flange connecting ring 601 into the sealing gasket 7. Then the large flange 6, the sealing gasket 7, and the small flange 5 are tightened and restricted in sequence to form a shell-side pipe flange by combining the large flange 6, the sealing gasket 7, the splicing ring 8, and the small flange 5, thereby achieving a stable sealing effect on both sides of the tube bundle 2 and ensuring the stability of the seal during inspection and installation.

[0031] Example 2: A heat exchange equipment maintenance device, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the threaded groove on the plug-in ring 8, the threaded groove on the small flange 5, and the threaded groove on the flange connecting ring 601 are connected to each other, and the flange connecting ring 601 is inserted into the inside of the sealing gasket 7, and the diameter of the sealing gasket 7 is consistent with the diameter of the large flange 6, and the threaded grooves on the sealing gasket 7 and the large flange 6 are connected.

[0032] like Figures 1-4As shown, the large flange 6 is threadedly connected to a fastening large bolt 13 through its outer thread groove, and the fastening large bolt 13 is also connected to the thread groove on the sealing gasket 7. The large flange 6 and the flange connecting ring 601 are threadedly connected to an auxiliary small bolt 12 through their inner thread grooves, and the auxiliary small bolt 12 is also connected to the thread grooves on the plug-in ring 8 and the small flange 5.

[0033] By tightening the small bolts 11 to connect the small flange 5 with the plug-in ring 8, by tightening the auxiliary small bolts 12 to connect the flange connecting ring 601 with the plug-in ring 8, and by tightening the large bolts 13 to connect the large flange 6 with the sealing gasket 7, the accuracy of the position of the shell-side pipe flange during inspection and installation is guaranteed, thereby further improving the stability of its own sealing performance and the accuracy of the inspection results of the tube bundle 2.

[0034] The connector 9 is connected to the inner thread of the large flange 6 , and the inner wall of the connector 9 is threadedly connected to a pressure test pump 10 , which is used for pressure testing.

[0035] Under the air supply support of the pressure test pump 10, the air supply to the inside of the pipe box 1 is guaranteed to be accurate and reliable. At the same time, under the connection guidance of the connector 9, the connection of the air supply and water supply equipment is guaranteed to be reliable, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the device during detection and use.

[0036] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
